The biodynamic approach has brought a new dimension to our wines. It has given them greater depth while producing more precise and silky tannins. The length of flavour on the palate has gained in minerality. Our wines are purer and more vibrant. Our feeling is that biodynamic farming has made us respect nature better. And the more we respect it, the more it will give us.

The first flowers were observed on May 24th. Then, for the third year in four consecutive vintages, there was a succession of extreme weather events. No doubt this is the “new normal”. Rainfall intensified in June. Fortunately, our herbarium, fitted out in 2021, reinforces therapeutic effectiveness by allowing a quicker response from our teams, who were intensely busy during the months of June and July.
Véraison started on July 19th. The grapes ripened slowly until the first plots of Merlot were picked on September 24th. As with the flowering, we observed synchronisation in the ripening of the grape varieties, an unusual phenomenon to say the least. Hence, picking of Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon as well as Petit Verdot started from October 4th.
Great terroirs always stand out in difficult vintages. Our viticultural practices and our knowledge of the plots have allowed us to produce a cuvée of very good quality.
